2004 bottle.

Pours a nice tawny amber. Two fingers of foam, rises and falls with the addition of it's small amount of yeast. Yeast adds a light haze, characteristic of a Weizenbock.

Smell is varied, first bubblegum and clove, airing out into bready malt. Over time the smell deadens, into a kind of musty yeast.

Taste is sweet malt upfront, countered by a cidery tartness that isn't unwelcome. Aftertaste is malty again, with a slight hop bitterness that doesn't show up 'til later. Not as fruity as desired, but yeast esters come thorugh some.

Fairly light and easy to drink in warmer months, would like to try this fresh.

I had this on draft 2/22/23 @ the Beer Temple.

Semi-opaque orange appearance.

Big white head; decent lace.

Dry wheat, slight skunk spray & faint honey notes in the nose.

Medium mouthfeel. Wheat, honey & mild skunk spray flavors.

A bit...funky for me. Drinkable & interesting, though!

Had on tap, believed to be in one of the first locations ever in the US: The Bavarian Lodge in Lisle, IL. Pours a beautiful, amber/brown color with a thick, marshmallowy head. Smells of malt, bread, slight clove. Taste is a typical, rich bock. Soft mouthfeel. Very drinkable. I am not usually big on German beers but this was delightful.

Pours a clear dark gold color with a small top off white head that disolves quickly. The aroma is sweet and malty, with bread,grains,caramel,apples and sugar. The flavour is very sweet with some fruity notes and the malts strong in the back. The finish is dry with some bitterness as well, and a decent lenght in the aftertaste. I think the sweetness is a little to overwhelming. The mouthfeel is clean and soft, with moderate carbonation and medium body..
All in all this a decent enough bockbier, taste decent enough and easy to drink. Beside from that is nothing very impressing with it.

A usually expect flavours like caramel, salmiak and dark malt from a bock, but this one is one tastes more like a buffed pilsener to me. In a good way though: dark golden colour with a modest head of foam. Smell of pilsener hops and some malt. A pleasantly sweet malty profile, with some nice hop flavours in the aftertaste. Reminds me of the better Czech variants actually. It is balanced but not very complex. Mouth feel is a good one in the pilsener category: crispy and clean. Don't expect a german doppelbock or a dutch herfstbok here, but all in all a nice brew. Had the 2016 edition and drank it in 2016, so i had a fresh one here.
